Attorneys for Juan Carlos Rodriguez, accused of killing and decapitating his wife, rested their case this morning after about a week of testimony.

Rodriguez, 38, is on trial for first-degree murder in the death of Maria Magdalena Rodriguez, 31, who was reported missing on Nov. 19, 2010.

Her body was found Dec. 12, 2010, in a wooded area at the end of Williamsburg Road in the Minorcas Creek area off Bethabara Park Road. If convicted of first-degree murder, Juan Rodriguez could face the death penalty.
